 * Keep. May not be notable, however, still a candidate.
 * Is every candidate notable? And what constitutes a candidate - any schmoe who says they're running? Airumel 07:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, they claim to be running -- think about it --- wikipedia, wouldn't you argue, keeps track of everything, for information? Every nutjub has a right to be listed.
 * Delete. Not notable. Airumel 07:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Article itself notes that "his presidential aspirations have heretofore gone unnoticed by mainstream media outlets and political observers" -- Astrokey44 |talk 10:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable biography. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-18 11:24Z 
 * Delete non-notable. Candidate is also possible spoof, or else just sadly misguided. Crunch 15:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete notable. Don't know if anyone has taken the time to search him but he's been in newspapers around the world like the Iran Daily, China Daily, Iraqi Sun, Israel Heral, Panama News, etc.  He hasn't gotten much press in America but it seems as though his promotion is getting him noticed overseas.  10:29, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I didn't see any actual articles, just lots of press releases that the campaign put out itself. I think this is very deceptive. Crunch 03:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. And the article seems less like an ad now. --Kbh3rd talk  16:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Great. But better written, about someone not notable, still doesn't cut it. Airumel 07:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. notable. Who knows, this guy might end up being important after all --- 18:04, 18 January (UTC)
 * Great. Write and post the article then. Airumel 07:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep somewhat notable, decently written article B.ellis 21:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable (but, if kept, somebody should edit out his change of sex)   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  22:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. notable. Here are some articles i found on Imperato http://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y05/dec05/20e6.htm http://www.iran-daily.com/1384/2439/html/national.htm http://www.iranprotestun.com/news/view/5/1.php    http://www.newsitaliapress.it/interna.asp?sez=267&info=124676
 * None of those articles is more than two months old. Doesn't notability entail some element of longevity? And all of them are foreign press with which I'm not familiar - is their attention a good measure of the subject's notability? Airumel 07:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. notable. Hey if so many people are commenting on this guy it must mean someone is interested --- 13:24, 19 January (UTC)
 * Comment. First of all, please vote only once. Also, as for the "some articles," they're interesting. First of all, they're almost all from countries with whom the US is at odds with. Second, one is a a letter to the editor and the others are all just publishing Imperator's press releases. I'm sure newspapers in these countries (Cuba, Iran, Panama) don't usually receive press releases from US presidential candidates.  It's more a curiousity than anything else.  I guess the question is, are we including articles for all of the literally thousands (yes, thousands) of declared US presidential candidates? Crunch 08:01, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
